House Sitting Clawson

“Christine was wonderful and kept me informed with everything that was going on at my house. When I got home, the dogs were calm, which to me is a good sign of a caring sitter.”

About: I come from parents who did Alaskan dog mushing with over 20 dogs. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have experience with many breeds. I know how to train, help with senior care, and provide any advice you’re looking for. I’m currently working part time, so I can quickly adapt to any pet or house needs you might have. I’m also very physically active so any further exercise is welcome! After growing up with dogs in the Alaskan wilderness surrounded by moose, I definitely have good habits of staying aware of my surroundings. I’ll be able to fully dedicate myself to your requests!

“We are so fortunate to have found Linett!! Linett is so loving with our two dogs and we were relaxed on vacation knowing that she was taking care of them and our house. Linett is an excellent communicator, highly professional -- and an obvious animal lover :). She took care of every detail and sent amazing photos and videos so we knew exactly how things were going. Our dogs clearly had a very fun time. We are looking forward to having her house sit next time we are away.”

“We had an outstanding experience with Edith C. and couldn't be happier with the care our kitty received. From start to finish, they demonstrated true professionalism and genuine care for our furry family member. What impressed us most: Excellent communication: We received daily photo updates of our cat, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away Attention to detail: All of our instructions were followed perfectly, showing their commitment to maintaining our cat's routine and comfort Trustworthy and reliable: We felt completely confident that our beloved pet was in capable, caring hands Our cat appeared relaxed and content throughout the sitting period, which speaks volumes about the quality of care provided. The daily photos were such a thoughtful touch and really helped ease any separation anxiety we might have had. We will definitely be rebooking for future cat sitting needs and would recommend their services to any pet owner looking for dependable, professional care. It's clear they truly love what they do, and our cat benefited immensely from their attention and expertise. Overall Experience: 5/5 stars Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our kitty!”

About: Hi! I am a dedicated pet sitter with three years of professional drop-in care in the Berkeley/Oakland area, and have been living with and caring for dogs and cats my whole life. My goal is simple, to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away so you can have complete peace of mind! While some people think pets have simple needs, I know that they need and deserve more than just food, water, walks and a clean litter box. During each visit, I make sure your pet gets all the attention and engagement they want, whether that means sniffing walks, playtime, pets, lap time, or simply quiet time with a friend. I always aim to follow your pet’s routine and preferences to make them feel safe and reduce stress. I also understand that many pets can by shy or take some time to warm up to a new person, and have a lot of experience with shy and nervous animals and will make sure to be patient with them and make them feel safe during my visits. I take a patient, gentle approach and allow them to warm up at their own pace so they feel safe and secure. During visits, I provide:
 • Walks, feeding, fresh water, and litter box cleaning 
• Playtime and enrichment 
• Medication administration (if needed)
 • Lots of photos and updates after every visit 
• Anything else you need while on your trip (grabbing mail, watering plants, etc!) About me: I’m originally from Seattle and have lived in the East Bay for the past 8 years and I love it here! Outside of pet sitting, I work as a plant genetics researcher. In my free time, I enjoy knitting, going to the beach, and hitting up all the local flea and vintage markets. I’d love to meet you and your pets and provide reliable, attentive care for while you’re away! I have a pretty flexible work schedule and am available pretty much any day to come check on your pets after 3 on weekdays, and anytime on weekends. I have a lot of experience with shy/nervous pets, and am very mindful of new relationships between animals as well as new humans! I look forward to meeting you and your pets and creating a safe and happy environment:)

“My chihuahua and sisters German shepherd/black lab mix loved having Angelique stay with them during our weekend away. Angelique was so kind to do a visit ahead of time, was very communicative, and organized her schedule around our dogs. My dog loves to cuddle and definitely got all of the love from Angelique. We’d love to have her back to stay at our place with cooper in the future.”

“Lola was fantastic! She was kind, attentive and sent many fun photos while taking care of my dog. She left the house extremely clean and asked questions when in doubt of caretaking detail. My dog seemed to have had a great time playing and cuddling with Lola. Highly recommend!”

“Erik was on time, and friendly..I really liked him he was great with my dog, and cool to chat with. I'd definitely book with him again and I'd definitely recommend him.. thanks so much for looking after our Hammy and our home..”

Kat S.

“Cara did such a wonderful job taking care of my 4 cats and dog while I was away. She was communicative, thoughtful, and sent lots of updates and photos that made me feel so much more relaxed. My dog Maverick is usually very nervous around strangers, but he really warmed up to her by the end, which says a lot. I came home to very happy, well cared for pets and I’d absolutely trust her with them again.”

Madison L.

“Shanley was wonderful during our recent 10-day house sit. She was super communicative, sent daily pictures of our cat and dog, and cared for our house like it was her own. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Sophie V.

“Nina is AMAZING! From getting Noob treats and toys, to sending us constant updates she is one of the best sitters we’ve booked. She went above and beyond to keep us reassured as pet parents and to keep our fur baby happy. Go ahead and book her you won’t regret it, I hope we get to work with her again too!!”

Brinda K.

“Angela was great. Above and beyond, especially in responding to a few schedule curve balls. Great communication and only about important questions about Frida. Highly recommend!”

Andrew P.

“Nicky took great care of Callo, and was super responsive. She also left the house in great shape. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Nicky!”

Kellie D.

“Matthew was able to watch Charlie last minute and was great to work with. Matthew kept me updated, sent pictures, and Charlie seemed very happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”

Renata N.

“Couldn’t recommend Eleanna more! She watched our dog and cat while we were away for a week and was very communicative the whole time. She sent us lots of pictures and made sure they both got lots of exercise and love.”

Maggie A.

“Lulia is great with picture and video updates. She was able to administer meds and eyedrops to my senior dog (16) and ensure he ate while I was away over the course of a week. She was patient and continued to find new ways to ensure he ate on days he was being stubborn because I wasn’t home!”

“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! They took such great care of Nash and sent me tons of pictures, which I loved. Nash got to go to all the parks, spend time with his best friends, and clearly had an amazing time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy, active, and so well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely use them again and again. Highly recommend!”

Heidi F.

“Bryanna was great! Ready to jump in and help in anyway possible. Took a last minute booking that REALLY helped us. Bryanna was more than happy to go over details with us before the sitting. All the questions Bryanna asked us about our dog and his needs made it apparent that our dog would be cared for while we were gone. We came back to a happy, tired, and well-cared for dog! Would absolutely book again 😊”

Ashley L.

“Jack was very professional and helpful. He took initiative to be informed about the ins and outs of the gig and was highly communicative through to the end. My cat seemed very pleased with him as well. 10/10 would rehire.”

Christopher V.

“Hyazinth was fantastic with our two cats - even our shyer one took to Hyazinth quickly. Hyazinth was super communicative with updates and photos of our cats, and was clearly cuddling and playing with them frequently. We have searched for a long time for a cat sitter we feel totally comfortable leaving our babies with and finally think we have found them!”
